What are the two points on the ecliptic which the sun is farthest from the celestial equator?

The two points on the ecliptic where the sun is farthest from the celestial equator are the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These are located approximately at 23.5 degrees north and south of the celestial equator, respectively. The sun reaches these points during the summer and winter solstices.


How are solstices and equinoxes different from each other?

Solstices and equinoxes are different in terms of the position of the Earth in relation to the sun. Solstices occur when the Earth's axis is tilted either towards or away from the sun, resulting in the longest or shortest day of the year. Equinoxes, on the other hand, occur when the Earth's axis is not tilted towards or away from the sun, resulting in equal day and night lengths.


What is soltice?

The solstice occurs twice in a year when the sun is furthest from the equator, one in winter and one in summer. The winter solstice is around June 21, when the sun reaches its northernmost point on the celestial sphere, or about December 21, when it reaches its southernmost point. In the Southern Hemispheres, the solstices are reversed.


Describe the winter solstice?

The solstices are when the Sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator; the point in the apparent path of the Sun at which the Sun is farthest south of the equator. Solstice happens twice a year on about June 21 and December 21.In other words, the solstice is when the tilt of the Earth's axis is in most inclined toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun's apparent position in the sky to reach its northernmost or southernmost extreme. This makes the winter solstice the shortest day of the year, and summer summer solstice the longest.solstices are when the it is the shortest day (December 22-25) of the year or the longest (June 21-23).Here is what the dictionary says. "1. Either of two times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator. The summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere occurs about June 21, when the sun is in the zenith at the tropic of Cancer; the winter solstice occurs about December 21, when the sun is over the tropic of Capricorn. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year and the winter solstice is the shortest." The word solsitce is a noun.It comes from a term that literally means "sun stand", because the sun reaches its highest or lowest point of the year on the solstice (highest on the summer solstice, lowest on the winter solstice).
